Someone asked about the format of the Tests to help plan tactics so I thought I'd just stick that on here to help everyone too.
The side listed first in the fixtures (don't forget all matches are one-off meetings on neutral circuits) are shown first:
Heat 1: 1&2 v 1&2 Heat 2: 3&4 v 3&4 Heat 3: 5&6 v 5&6 Heat 4: 3&4 v 1&2 Heat 5: 5&6 v 3&4 Heat 6: 1&2 v 5&6 Heat 7: 5&6 v 1&2 Heat 8: 1&2 v 3&4 Heat 9: 3&4 v 5&6 Heat 10: 1&2 v 1&2 Heat 11: 3&4 v 3&4 Heat 12: 5&6 v 5&6 Heat 13: 3&4 v 1&2 Heat 14: 5&6 v 3&4 Heat 15: 1&2 v 5&6 Heat 16: 5&6 v 1&2 Heat 17: 1&2 v 3&4 Heat 18: 3&4 v 5&6
